DSP Amplifier
Why choose this product?
The ARC Audio Blackbird combines eight fully bridgeable Class-D amplifier channels with a 12-channel digital signal processor in one compact chassis. It delivers up to 1,000 watts of clean system power while four independent DSP-controlled RCA outputs make it suitable for both all-in-one and hybrid installations.
Built around an Analog Devices ADAU1462 DSP core with AKM Velvet Sound conversion, Blackbird is tuned through ARC Audio’s Pro-Series DNA software. Each output can be configured independently with extensive EQ, crossover, delay, phase and preset control, while iDatalink Maestro AR compatibility supports integration with modern factory systems.
